Slang aud Swearing
The Spectator.

The old Scotch lady who owned that
"Our Jenny sweers awful" added on re.
Election, ''but to be sure it's great Offset
TO conversation" Both swearing and
slang are popular with the unref citing,
because they are felt to be great Offsets
to conversation. Men, especially uneda-
cated men, feel that desire 70 witty and
edorn the expression of their ideas
which, among more highly developed
human beings, finds it's outlet
in eloquence and blank verse.
1t will be remembered that, in solemo
moment of self-communion and remorse,
the Paphlsgonian usurper meditated in
blank verse, which, as the historian was
careful to add, sis, of course, no argu-
ment." Like King Valoroso, q great
many novelists, from Dickens downward,
always drop into blank verse in their more
emotional moods. Nature demands this
kind Of adornment of passion, and 1.-The
Perusine, and even the very cannibal," as
Puttenham says In his old Art of Poetry,
"do sing their hottest matters"

TIE SOUTHWEST OF Is.
The opportunity offers to secure TWO
more railroads to Coleman if we have
energy enough left to make half the
effort we exerted to secure the Gulf,
Colorado and S nta Fe.
We have good assurance that if we will
60 to WORK and develop the coal Leds ia
the vicinity of Coleman and they prove to
be as good as specimens secured By Nj.
T. j. Lewis or K. L. Dunman indicate.
we will get the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, and in securing it we will be
cetain to secure the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass.
There is no doubt about the existence
OF the coal: it crops out in the banks of
Hord's creek in Dunman's pasture in 3
vein fifteen inches thick but few feet
below the surface, and biologists assert
the existence of two or more thicker
veins at no distance below, is all but GER
tain.
Relying upon their Judgment and upon
the indications manifest to US all, should
there be any hesitancy on the part OF the
people of Coleman to spend few hun
bred dollars to develop it? Little is ever
gained without some risk, and surely the
more than the risk Of few hundred dol
lars.
That the coal in this nelghbOrhood is of
good quality has been known to the War
Department since 1856, when Kerby
Smith reported its existence, end that it
was of q quality superior to that found
near Fort Belknsp on the Brazos. Smiths
company opened g mine on the head of
Hay branch Just north of Camp Colorado,
which was worked for the post black
smith shop as long as the troops re-
NAMED there.
1t appears that no one man feels able
these times to take upon himself the de-
velopment OF this coal, therefore, in view
of the certain results of satisfac-
tory development, can we not or
gsDize mining company for the
purpose? A small capital only Is neces-
sary. One hundred shares at $40 each
will develop the coal, aud when developed
every share of $40 will he worth $l00 at
least.
Who will take lead in this matter?
Coal exists upon the land of the president
of our local railroad committee. He
will, no doubt, offer inducements for q
company to go to work. Anyway, by
calling meeting we cal hear from him
and others on whose lard coal exists, and
possibly pick up courage enough to go to
work in good earnest
The roads are offered us if we can
Offer the coal. Gentlemen, is it worth
the efort?-l Coleman Voice.

While our county is still dry, we are in

Heavy Loss at Clifton.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
CLIFTON, TEX, Jan. 26-A few min
utes after . O'Clock last night, when the
| business hustle had about died away on
the streets and quietude relgned, the
alarm OF fire was given, when it was no.
ticed that the livery stable of r. A. Nc
Spaddeu < Son, situated in the south por-
tiOn,of town, on the west side of the
railroad, was on fire. A strong wind
from the south drove the flames rapidly
| through the premises, consisting of three
buildings, used as forage, buggy house
and stable, dwelling occupied by S. j.
Tennison, a blacksmith shop owned
! BIZ Lewis Olive, thence north
ward towards the street that
runs perpendicular to the railroad
to the tin shop of L. Johausop, C. o.
Nelson's warehouse, Carroll Locher's
market house and Lewis & Sons contec-
| tlonery, all fronting on Fifth street, which
were fast reduced to ashes. During this
time the flames from the burning stables
We're beating SO heavily upon the rear of
| the large stone building of Lockett& Bass
that the iron door and window shutters
could no longer sustain the pressure of
heat, and warping gave admittance to the
flames to the combustihles within. By
this time the awning and wooden doors
at the front, being set by the
burning of the tin shop at the side,
had about burned away, thus giving vent
tor the fire in front which rolled in solid
sheets half way across the street, and but
for the heroic and manfuI work of many a
stout heart with buckets and plenty of
water to bear upon the fronts of opposite
buildings, much more of the town would
have been in waste this morning. The
losses as nearly as can be estimated at
present are as follows: T. A. McSpad-
den & Son, liverymen, four wood build
ings, two mules, one horse, corn, forage,
etc, household goods of J. A. McSpad-
den, damage to wagons, buggies, etc,
Sl400; no insurance. s. j. Tennison, all
his household effects except q bed,
bureau, chair, and a few things of
minor importane; no insurance. Lewis
Olive, shop and house, $3.50; to-
tai loss, no insurance. D. J. TenDison,
carpenter tools and timber in shop, 5000;
no insurance. l. Joharson, timer, $3.50;
no insurance. C. o. Nelson, store and
warehouse, $4,000; no insurance. Car
roll Locker, market, SIS; no insurance.
Lewis & Son, confectioners, 5000; total
loss, no insurance. Lockett & Bass, gem
eral merchandise, $4,000; insurance
$500. The origin of the fire is not def
nitely known. 1t was first discovered in
some hay in the loft of the rear Of the
livery stable near window, and whether
fred by the hands of an incendiary, or
from other sources, at present is not
known.
